Franklin Wireless Partners with Armor Health to Transform Correctional Healthcare
In a significant development for correctional healthcare, Armor Health has enhanced its Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) through a collaboration with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office and Corrections Division. The program now incorporates SUBLOCADE long-acting injectables (LAIs), a treatment specifically designed for adults grappling with moderate to severe opioid addiction. This innovative approach aims to support individuals who have initiated treatment with oral buprenorphine, offering a steady release of medication that suppresses cravings and aids in recovery. Notably, research highlights that a substantial portion of patients receiving SUBLOCADE remain abstinent after a year, underscoring the potential for long-term recovery.
The implementation of this program begins with comprehensive screening for opioid use disorder at intake, ensuring that individuals receive immediate care, whether they are entering treatment for the first time or transitioning from community-based programs. A key component of Armor Health’s initiative is the emphasis on reentry planning, which aids individuals as they reintegrate into society. This structured support includes "warm handoffs" to external healthcare providers, significantly reducing the risks of relapse and recidivism. Armor Health's CEO, Otto Campo, stresses the company's commitment to improving correctional healthcare standards, commending Franklin County for prioritizing evidence-based care that respects the dignity of those in custody.
Through its proprietary Insights Analytics and collaboration with Antidot, Armor Health is revolutionizing healthcare delivery within correctional settings. The integration of innovative treatments like SUBLOCADE not only addresses immediate health concerns but also plays a crucial role in reducing recidivism rates. By offering incarcerated patients access to quality healthcare comparable to that available outside of correctional facilities, Armor Health is setting a new benchmark for inmate treatment. This initiative represents a critical step in the ongoing efforts to address the opioid crisis within the correctional system, paving the way for more effective rehabilitation and community reintegration.
